It's not just women who wear skirts. Men can wear them, too. In Scotland, men wear a kind of skirt called a kilt. The kilt is their national dress and an important part of their tradition (传统).
A kilt is a colored skirt reaching down to the knees(膝盖). It has checks (格子) on it with different colors, like red or blue. Each family in Scotland has its own colors.
How did the Scots start to wear kilts? There are many stories about it. One story is that the kilt was invented (发明) in the 1720s by an English factory owner, Thomas Rawlinson. Rawlinson had a lot of Scottish workers in his factory and he thought their clothing got in the way of their work. So he cut their long clothes into a shorter skirt.
Today, most Scotsmen see kilts as formal(正式)dresses. They usually only wear them at weddings or big dinners. There are only a few men who still wear a kilt every day. Scots also wear kilts in parades when they play their traditional musical instrument(乐器): bagpipes (风笛). The army still has kilts as the dress uniform (制服), but they no longer wear them to fight (打仗).

A. colors   B. checks   C. rules   D. shapes

A. 到达   B. 得到   C. 在路上   D. 妨碍

  All students have to face their own problems when they are growing up.You may not think that having a good family is a problem.But for me, it was.

  I had to face the problem of being the youngest of the Smith girls.

  We live in a small town in Pennsylvania, US.There are three of us girls in the Smith family, each two years apart:Amanda, Theresa and me, the youngest.We all have blond hair and blue eyes.

  People would say things to me, like “Oh, the three of you, you’re such nice girls.Your sisters are so pretty and so thin!You’re really nothing like them.” That made me sad.

  At school, all of my teachers had taught my sisters.On the first day of school, they would always say, “Oh, the youngest of the three!I hope you’re just like your sisters.They’re such wonderful students.”

  People always compared(比较)me to my sisters.So I couldn’t help comparing myself to them, too.Theresa was smarter, Amanda was prettier.

  I began to work hard to be more like them.What my sisters did, I did, too.At last, I became drum major(主鼓手)of our school’s marching band.Both Amanda and Theresa had been drum majors.I became editor of the school’s newspaper; Theresa had been the editor two years before.It went on this way for years.It was a nightmare(噩梦).

  But last year, Amanda went to college, and Theresa went to high school.Now I’m by myself at junior high.Everyone knows me, because I'm the drum major and the newspaper’s editor.

  Now I don’t feel like a Smith girl any more - I feel like myself.
